In the Swedish edition, translated to swedish, there are text and statistic tables included over all swedish boat and tankers sinked by uboat. These are good books (5) to read.

About this book, never quite understud why, in some amazon sites, they sell it above 200€ +/-, and in others, about 75-80€. The link puted here by jimbuna is one of those.

Default Books to own

Thanks. I'll start saving.

I came across a 194x's USN issued hardback listing of all US Subs (kpt, crew list, patrols and where sank if applicable). It included roughly where the sub went down. In the aft tables, it has all the German & Japanese boats sunk, including (Lon & Lat, kpt, surivors, who killed it). I sent a spreadsheet in a long time ago to SubSim when they were looking for a few lost uboats, based on that book.

BTW, one heck of a site you guys have here. Unbelievable depth of material, knowledge and mod skills. WOW! Thanks for making my fun even better.

Kuch (VII or IX, IX or VII. Heck with it, XXI)

It all depends on where you can get it from. That link is from Amazon.com. I purchased a copy kust prior to xmas from Amazon.co.uk and paid more....for a second hand copy because there were no new ones to be had in the UK.

Another example would be the two volume Clay Blair books.

A number of years back I could only get one volume from the UK and the other from the US.
The UK one was 3 times the price
